The reason why I abandoned the idea is because I found a better way of solving this problem, at least on iOS and Mountain Lion - make it so that CURLOPT_SSL_CTX works with back-ends other than OpenSSL. I've been doing this on my own; I just never brought it up because I figured there was a reason why that feature was OpenSSL-only.

There isn't. It is only documented as OpenSSL-only because it is, it is not a requirement nor does it have to remain like that.

I don't really like when we do things in the API that is SSL-backend specific, but I'm also aware that some things still need to be done like that so that we can provide good features.
